The Mini Cooper has long been admired for compact engineering and go-kart like agility. This 1/10 scale Tamiya replica channels that same spirit, modelling details from the BMC-era cars while fitted to a contemporary MB-01 chassis. The result is a faithful scale appearance combined with practical chassis engineering.
The MB-01 lets you pick from three wheelbase settings and supports front- or rear-drive configurations, giving room to experiment with balance. Its symmetrical four-wheel double wishbone suspension and simple friction dampers deliver predictable feedback for drive adjustments and routine maintenance.
The lightweight polycarbonate Mini Cooper Racing shell sits on 8-spoke wheels shod with 60D radial tyres to provide authentic contact patch feel. This is an assembly kit only; you will need a 2-channel transmitter, steering servo and an appropriate battery and charger to complete your build.
Tamiya 58747 combines scale accuracy with a chassis that invites setup changes. It suits modellers who enjoy both authentic looks and hands-on tuning for road performance.
